Description

it would be nice if the menu bar icon stayed selected while the window is open (right now it selects and unselects). it's non-obvious to users where the screen popped up from.

in particular, at least make it so on [the landing page image](http://maxogden.github.io/screencat/img/screenshot.png), so that users know what instantly icon they should expect to appear after installing.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Electron menu-bar and window-handling entry points, then compare the current behavior with the linked landing page image. Done means the menu bar icon remains selected while the window is open and the landing page makes the expected icon clear.
